| 1 | And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, | La onzième année, au troisième mois, le premier du mois, la parole de Yahweh me fut adressée en ces termes : | And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third [month], in the first [day] of the month, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, |
| 2 | Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness? | "Fils de l'homme, dis à Pharaon, roi d'Égypte, et à sa multitude : A qui ressembles-tu dans ta grandeur ? | Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom art thou like in thy greatness? |
| 3 | Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs. | Voilà qu'Assur était un cèdre sur le Liban, à la belle ramure, à l'ombrage épais, à la taille élevée, et ayant sa cime dans les nues. | Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs. |
| 4 | The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field. | Les eaux l'avaient fait croître, l'abîme l'avait fait grandir, en faisant couler ses fleuves autour du lien où il était planté et en envoyant ses ruisseaux à tous les arbres des champs. | The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: the rivers thereof ran round about its plantation; and it sent out its channels unto all the trees of the field. |
| 5 | Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth. | C'est pourquoi sa taille s'élevait, plus haute que les arbres des champs; ses branches avaient grandi, ses rameaux s'étaient allongés, grâce aux eaux abondantes du temps de sa croissance. | Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot [them] forth. |
| 6 | All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations. | Dans ses branches tous les oiseaux du ciel nichaient; sous ses rameaux mettaient bas tous les animaux des champs, et à son ombre étaient assises des nations nombreuses. | All the birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow dwelt all great nations. |
| 7 | Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters. | Il était beau par sa grandeur, par la longueur de ses branches, car ses racines plongeaient dans des eaux abondantes. | Thus was it fair in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters. |
| 8 | The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. | Les cèdres ne l'obscurcissaient pas dans le jardin de Dieu, les cyprès n'égalaient pas ses branches, et les platanes n'étaient pas comme ses rameaux; aucun arbre dans le jardin de Dieu ne l'égalait en beauté. | The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir-trees were not like its boughs, and the plane-trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like unto it in its beauty. |
| 9 | I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him. | Je l'avais rendu beau par la multitude de ses rameaux; tous les arbres d'Eden lui portaient envie, tous ceux qui sont dans le jardin de Dieu. | I made it fair by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it. |
| 10 | Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; | C'est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Parce qu'il s'est élevé en hauteur, parce qu'il a porté sa cime jusque dans les nues; et que son coeur s'est enorgueilli de son élévation, | Therefore thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou art exalted in stature, and he hath set his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; |
| 11 | I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness. | je l'ai livré aux mains du dieu des nations, qui le traitera à sa guise; à cause de sa méchanceté, je l'ai chassé. | I will even deliver him into the hand of the mighty one of the nations; he shall surely deal with him; I have driven him out for his wickedness. |
| 12 | And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. | Des étrangers l'ont coupé, -- nation féroce entre toutes, -- et laissé là; sur les montagnes et dans toutes les vallées; ses branches sont tombées; ses rameaux brisés gisent dans tous les ravins du pays; tous les peuples de la terre se sont éloignés de son ombre et l'ont abandonné. | And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the watercourses of the land; and all the peoples of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. |
| 13 | Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches: | Sur ses débris tous les oiseaux du ciel viennent se poser; et dans ses rameaux se sont retirés tous les animaux des champs | Upon his ruin all the birds of the heavens shall dwell, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches; |
| 14 | To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. | afin qu'aucun arbre planté sur les eaux ne s'élève en hauteur et ne porte sa cime jusque dans les nues, et qu'aucun de ceux qui s'abreuvent d'eau ne s'appuie sur lui-même dans son orgueil. Car ils sont tous voués à la mort, aux profondeurs de la terre, mêlés aux enfants des hommes, à ceux qui descendent dans la fosse. | to the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves in their stature, neither set their top among the thick boughs, nor that their mighty ones stand up on their height, [even] all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. |
| 15 | Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. | Ainsi parle le Seigneur Yahweh : Le jour où il descendit au schéol, j'ai fait mener le deuil; à cause de lui j'ai voilé l'abîme, j'ai retenu le cours de ses fleuves et les grandes eaux se sont arrêtées; à cause de lui, j'ai assombri le Liban, et à cause de lui, tous les arbres des champs ont langui. | Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In the day when he went down to Sheol I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the rivers thereof; and the great waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. |
| 16 | I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. | Au bruit de sa chute, j'ai fait trembler les nations, quand je l'ai fait descendre au schéol, avec ceux qui descendent dans la fosse. Ils se sont consolés dans les profondeurs de la terre, tous les arbres d'Eden, les plus beaux et les plus magnifiques du Liban, tous ceux que les eaux abreuvaient. | I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to Sheol with them that descend into the pit; and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth. |
| 17 | They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. | Ceux-là aussi sont descendus avec lui au schéol, vers les victimes de l'épée, qui étaient son bras et étaient assises à son ombre au milieu des nations. | They also went down into Sheol with him unto them that are slain by the sword; yea, they that were his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the nations. |
| 18 | To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD. | Ainsi à qui ressembles-tu en gloire et en grandeur, parmi les arbres d'Eden ? Tu seras précipité avec les arbres d'Eden, dans les profondeurs de la terre, pour être couché au milieu d'incirconcis, avec ceux que l'épée a transpercés. Tel sera le sort de Pharaon et de toute sa multitude; --oracle du Seigneur Yahweh. | To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with them that are slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord Jehovah. |
